my UITableView have serious memory leak problem only when the NSString is NOT encoding with NSASCIIStringEncoding.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"cell";
UILabel *textLabel1;
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    textLabel1 = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(105, 6, 192, 22)];

    textLabel1.tag = 1;
    textLabel1.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    textLabel1.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    textLabel1.numberOfLines = 1;
    textLabel1.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = NO;
    [textLabel1 setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:19]];
    [cell.contentView addSubview:textLabel1];
    [textLabel1 release];

} else {
    textLabel1 = (UILabel *)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:1];
}

NSDictionary *tmpDict = [listOfInfo objectForKey:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",indexPath.row]];

textLabel1.text = [tmpDict objectForKey:@"name"];

return cell;

}

-(void) readDatabase {
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir = [documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
databasePath = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",myDB]];
sqlite3 *database;

if(sqlite3_open([databasePath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {

    const char sqlStatement = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"select id,name from %@ order by orderid",myTable] UTF8String];
    sqlite3_stmt *compiledStatement;
    if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sqlStatement, -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {
        while(sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW) {
            NSString *tmpid = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 0)];


            NSString *tmpname = [NSString stringWithCString:(const char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 1) encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];


            [listOfInfo setObject:[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init] forKey:tmpid];
            [[listOfInfo objectForKey:tmpid] setObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", tmpname] forKey:@"name"];


        }
    }
    sqlite3_finalize(compiledStatement);

    debugNSLog(@"sqlite closing");

}
sqlite3_close(database);

}

when i change the line

NSString *tmpname = [NSString stringWithCString:(const char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 1) encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

to

NSString *tmpname = [NSString stringWithCString:(const char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 1) encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

the memory leak is gone

i tried NSString stringWithUTF8String and it still leak. i've also tried:

NSData *dtmpname = [NSData dataWithBytes:sqlite3_column_blob(compiledStatement, 1) length:sqlite3_column_bytes(compiledStatement, 1)];
NSString *tmpname = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:dtmpname encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];

and the problem remains, the leak occur when u start scrolling the tableview.

i've actually tried other encoding and it seems that only NSASCIIStringEncoding works(no memory leak)

any idea how to get rid of this problem?
